DZOFilm 2x anamorphic Prime 135mm T2.5 -Neutral Coating- PL&EF mount (meter)

The DZOFILM DZO-PA13525PLMN PAVO 2x Anamorphic Prime 135mm T2.5 - Neutral Coating - PL&EF Mount is a high-quality anamorphic lens designed for filmmakers seeking a vintage cinematic aesthetic with modern performance. With a focal length of 135 mm and a maximum aperture of T2.5, this lens is optimized for Super35 sensors, delivering a 2.39:1 aspect ratio and a distinctive “waterfall” elliptical bokeh that adds an artistic touch to images. The neutral coating produces soft, controlled horizontal flares, perfect for creating cinematic scenes without compromising sharpness, making this lens ideal for films, documentaries, commercials, and mid-to-high-budget productions.

The advanced optical construction of the PAVO 135mm is designed to minimize chromatic aberrations and control the barrel distortion typical of anamorphic lenses, ensuring sharp images from center to edge with vibrant color rendering and natural skin tones. The 16-blade iris creates a soft, rounded bokeh that isolates subjects against a creamy background, enhancing the emotional intensity of scenes. The focus ring, with a 300° rotation, offers precise manual control, while the standard 0.8 MOD gears for focus and aperture ensure compatibility with professional follow focus and matte box systems. The minimum focus distance of 0.61 m is significantly shorter than other anamorphic lenses, allowing greater flexibility for close-up and detailed shots.

Weighing just 1.95 kg and featuring a front diameter of 95 mm, the DZO-PA13525PLMN is surprisingly compact and lightweight for an anamorphic lens, making it ideal for setups on drones, gimbals like the DJI Ronin 2, or Steadicam. The included PL mount can be easily swapped with the provided EF bayonet, offering versatility for cameras such as the ARRI Alexa Mini, RED Komodo, and Canon C500. The integrated back-focus adjustment allows for precise adaptations without disassembling the lens, streamlining workflow on dynamic sets. The black and space-gray metal design, inspired by sci-fi spaceships, is not only aesthetically appealing but also durable, with an operating temperature range of -20°C to +45°C.

The DZO-PA13525PLMN stands out for its wide field of view, capturing more background details, and its ability to compress environmental space, creating an immersive visual experience. The manufacturer’s 1-year warranty, extendable through partner programs like Duclos Service+, ensures reliability for long-term productions. Part of the PAVO series, which includes focal lengths from 28 mm to 180 mm, this lens can be used with the DZOFILM Marlin 1.6x expander to adapt to full-frame cameras, further enhancing its versatility. For filmmakers seeking an anamorphic lens that combines superior optical quality and practicality, the DZO-PA13525PLMN is an excellent choice for achieving high-end cinematic results.
